General Hostage, the Commander of Air Combat Command and Brigadier General Zobrist, the Director of Plans, Programs, and Requirements, will host the ACC "Advanced Training" Innovation Summit on 21 May 2014 at Quesada Hall, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. The Summit provides the opportunity for General Hostage and key Air Force leaders to discuss the vision, challenges, and way ahead for operational training.
